Like with all of my previous self-developed games, I've uploaded Split Decision for posterity to my itchio page; also like with most of my previous games it's not really an experience best enjoyed solo, but feel free to check it out:

Pro tip: if you have a Cuisinart stand mixer and are disappointed in the performance of its included dough hook when making bread doughs, get the qAp spiral dough hook from Amazon; this shit will change you life. Went from my dough always pooling at the bottom like goo, to being *very* kneaded 👍

I'm delighted to announce that I was a lead writer & narrative consultant on Star Wars: Galactic Racer for a year. Super proud of my teammates, honored to be trusted with the opportunity--and so excited that people are already connecting with the game. Jump in today!!

This was a really exceptionally-crafted remake that to be honest, mostly made me realize how much I don’t love on-rail shooters, even when exceptionally-crafted. I genuinely think I’m more excited to eventually play the (much-rumoured) new Star Fox Adventures 🤞

I normally don’t love Platinums that force you to replay the entire game on a higher difficulty *but* Pragmata’s Lunatic mode was very satisfying; really pushed my knowledge of the game’s hacking and movement mechanics to a challenging flow state that I took great pleasure in.

Welp. Starting in November, I will no longer be employed by IGN. It's been a hell of a ride and I cannot understate how much of an honor and a privilege the last 11+ years have been. This was a dream job, but the best part of IGN is, was, and always will be the people.

Also: genuinely very happy that Nintendo is finally letting Samus speak again. It was real tough watching her with the figurative mute button on in Prime 4; I get people have reservations after Other M but I think we’re more than ready to move past that performance

Fuck yeah Metroid Ravenous looks dope! Was kind of a 7.5/10 Direct as a whole; eventually one day the endless stream of ports will die down (but clearly not quite yet)

Really good throwback to the PS3/360-era of single-player action-adventure games; its story feels maybe a bit to basic in parts but is successful in delivering the *feels*, which is most important. Shoutout to my local library for having this one in stock!

September's BARF Poll ended in a pesky tie, and so your boy Kozi has declared Elite Beat Agents its winner! Be sure to send us your thoughts on EBA as you play alongside us (and as always, we have an open seat available for anyone that wants to join our review of it at the end of the month!)

SCOOP: A few weeks before the launch of Star Wars Zero Company, most of the developers at its studio were furloughed The studio says they hope to secure funds to restore their pay. Some are skeptical it'll happen I learned about this via a bitter lawsuit: www.gamefile.news/p/star-wars-...
gamefile.news
‘Most’ of Star Wars Zero Company studio Bit Reactor was furloughed ahead of launch
The details emerged amid a legal dispute between company founders. The lawsuit also provides an unexpected look into a studio behind one of the best-reviewed Star Wars games in years

I had a lot of thoughts to share on this one about The Witcher, Ananta, Uncharted and even Balatro; if you've been missing Kozi on Respawn Aim Fire this episode should provide a healthy reprieve 🙏

and dialogue for their own good; watching them interact with each other just felt very flat. Still a good game overall though, I think it’s pretty insane that Sony hasn’t found a way to keep Uncharted going amidst Naughty Dog moving away from the franchise. (5/5)

Kozibear @kozibear.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
round out the cast of the main games well as a supporting protagonist (and sort-of foil to Elena), and I thought Nadine made for a very compelling villain in Uncharted 4 (if not that game’s *most* compelling villain), but together the two are just too similar in terms of their mannerisms (4/5)

Kozibear @kozibear.bsky.social · 22/08/2026
always such a daunting task to locate a lot of the more well-hidden treasures in the prior games, and the inclusion of the necklace made doing so much more enjoyable here. If I had one misgiving, it would be that I don’t think Chloe and Nadine are the most dynamic pairing. Chloe helps (3/5)

section was the open-ended area that encompasses much of chapter 4, though the final setpiece (which very much serves as a tribute to Uncharted 2’s train escapades) was great fun too. I also *really* appreciated the game’s inclusion of the Ruby necklace to help with treasure-hunting; it was (2/5)

Lost Legacy was the last Uncharted game I had not yet played, and overall I enjoyed my time with it quite a bit; its campaign serves up a greatest hits record of the series’ best setpieces, but with a modern coat of polish that some of the older titles lacked. Easily my favorite (1/5)

Wolverine for the quality game that it is, but until then it really feels like the genre is in need of a reckoning. (3/3)

Kozibear @kozibear.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
the 3rd-person action-adventure genre and its time-worn tropes, and a real want to see these sorts of games do something different, break out of their current rut. Much like Twilight Princess, I suspect that years from now people will be able to put their issues aside and appreciate (2/3)

Kozibear @kozibear.bsky.social · 18/08/2026
While I find the discourse over this scent-tracking sequence in particular to be overblown, the overall conversation surrounding this game reminds me a lot discourse that surrounded Twilight Princess (and other, similar games to it) circa 2006; it feels like there's just a real malaise with (1/2)
